ZU [SS] Gourgeist-Large [DONE]

[5Dots]

Trick or Treat
[OVERVIEW]
Gourgeist-L attempts to distinguish itself from Gourgeist-XL and Gourgeist-S by outspeeding the former and being slightly stronger and bulkier than the latter. Unfortunately, the extra bulk and Attack it gives up over Gourgeist-XL is not worth the opportunity cost, as the targets it outspeeds are not important enough. As an attacker, Gourgeist-S outspeeds many foes that Gourgeist-L cannot, which makes the latter completely outclassed on all fronts.

[SET COMMENTS]
Gourgeist-L attempts to distinguish itself from its superior formes by compressing Gourgeist-XL's power and Gourgeist-S's Speed, though it succeeds in neither. The strengths of Gourgeist-XL's great bulk and Gourgeist-S's high Speed make them far superior to any capabilities Gourgeist-L can do.

The only thing to keep in mind for the future from this analysis and the other Gourgeist one is that apart from the base Average forme, the abbreviations for Gourgeist's different sizes/formes are -S, -L, and -XL, in ascending order of size.

Get me extra large instead
